Both cases were attributed by the Riders Alliance to “Con Ed system failures.”

Con Ed told CBS2 it could not say for sure if its equipment caused the delays Tuesday.

MTA New York City Transit media liaison Amanda Kwan said in a statement, “At Governor Cuomo’s direction, we are requesting a meeting with Con Edison immediately to find the root cause of these repeated service disruptions and to develop solutions.”

And responding to criticism from the Riders Alliance, Cuomo’s office said, ‘Blasting out press releases devoid of facts is cheap and unconstructive, and we should expect more from so called transportation experts.”
